Goals

This one-day course will:
introduce the participants to JEE (Java Enterprise Edition) concepts
introduce them to new and most important concepts like SOAs (Service Oriented Architectures), ESBs (Enterprise Service Buses),Portals, JBI (Java Business Integration) and Business Process Management standards like BPEL, RIA (Rich Internet Applications) and AJAX
give an overview of how much these concepts are implemented into actual commercial products
show how integrate these concepts into standard Enterprise Stacks to create cheaper, faster-evolvingarchitectures and better interfaces
give an overview of likely open source alternatives
talk about costs
reference to legal aspects of software choices

New Enterprise Concerns
Today enterprise IT is made of shifting requirements and need for speedy deployments.

Some emerging technologies, like SOA, or ESB or JBI tend to address these concerns.

We will see them in detail and rate each platform support.

Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)
Web Services and functionality exposition
JBI – Business Integration through WS
Visual Business Process Modeling through BPEL and open standards
Enterprise Service Bus Architectures (ESB) and their advantages

AJAX and other technologies for Rich Internet Applications (RIA)
The browser as a web service orchestrator
Evolution of Portal Technologies
Web Clipping and Portal Integration
